DoorCo is proud to announce their partnership with high-performance sports coach, Mark Rees of the Rees-ilience Project, to support the work of Grassroots football coaches in their local community.
DoorCo’s Marketing Manager, Ellie Pool shares more about the collaboration: “After our recent sponsorship of Macclesfield FC, we’ve found a real passion for football throughout the entire business. The teamwork and morale demonstrated in the sport aligns directly with our values at DoorCo, so we’ve naturally found ourselves gravitating towards it as an out-of-hours activity for staff but also as a way to give back to our local community.
“We’re really proud to be the official kit sponsors for our local youth team, Tytherington Junior Under 12’s and in an effort to enhance the training they’re receiving from their brilliant coaches, we partnered with Mark Rees to deliver a brand-new ‘Coach the Coaches’ session.
“Mark is a well-known and incredibly popular high-performance sports coach who has worked with a plethora of successful British football stars including Ella Toone, Jill Scott, Phil Foden and more. However, his passion for coaching spans all levels of the sport, starting from the youngest of players.
“On Sunday 20th August, 18 of the Tytherington Junior coaches joined us at a local pitch to enjoy a 2-hour session from Mark which included practical sessions and a printed coaching plan to take away and implement. The atmosphere was fantastic and the response from the coaches was brilliant.”
The feedback on social media from the club was extremely positive. They commented: “What an unbelievable afternoon for our volunteer grassroot coaches… we are still pinching ourselves at the incredible opportunity that DoorCo facilitated. Having someone of Mark Rees’ calibre come and support our volunteers was amazing. Not only did they get some superb tips for coaching, but the session also firmed up what a positive impact Grassroots football can have on a child and their own personal/lifelong development.”
Ellie continues: “After the fantastic response to our first sponsored coaching session with Mark, it is absolutely on our agenda to run more. We’re also looking forward to DoorCo FC’s return to the Macclesfield FC pitch in October for a match against a team of local players and business people, formed by Mark Rees. The team have been training together weekly since our sponsors match back in June and it continues to be a brilliant team building activity for them all to take part in. “Football and all of its values really does sit so perfectly in line with everything we do here at DoorCo. We’re thoroughly enjoying our partnership with Mark, supporting his work and new podcast with the Rees-ilience Project and above all, giving back to our local community.”
